An apparatus for controlling the driving force of a vehicle is capable of
using brakes to limit a differential operation, securing sufficient
torque, and suppressing the heating and wearing of the brakes. In the
vehicle, an engine generates torque to drive front wheels and/or rear
wheels. A front differential allows differential rotation between the
front wheels and transmits torque of the engine to the front wheels. A
rear differential allows differential rotation between the rear wheels
and transmits torque of the engine to the rear wheels. Disk brakes
separately brake the front and rear wheels. An ABS/attitude electric
control unit controls the disk brakes to limit differential rotation
between the front wheels or between the rear wheels. At least one of the
front and rear differentials is provided with a differential limiting
mechanism.
